Default Tuning B20 Turbo project

Ok so i have a 1994 VX Hatch with a JDM B20. The turbo package is a TD05H off a 1st gen Eclipse. I am running an OBX fuel rail with 290cc injectors. it has a hondata intake manifold gasket and an LS intake manifold. It is running on the stock eclipse wasgate which opens up at 8psi. i have NO ecu upgrade. the car is fast and runs great until full throttle. then it seems to loose its power.

Any suggestions on what i need to do to get this thing tuned and running right. im guessing it must be running lean....

thanks

Please stop driving your car. It's only a matter of time before your motor blows.

a bigger turbo would be nice and all, but first things first. get some larger injectors and get the thing tuned. search for hondata, crome or uberdata on here. im sure you can find some good tuners in your area. it will cost less money to get your stuff tuned than it will be to get a new b20!
honestly if you keep running it like you say you are, it will blow up very soon

Or you could blow it up and go with an LS/B16/GSR/ITR... b20's are paper weights.

If you have no idea what you doing (not to be a smart ***, but it seems as if you dont), throw on a 12:1 fmu and an inline pump, and retard the timing back a few deg....Its not the best engine management, but its fool proof and at least your motor wont blow up....Those b20s dont have much room for error, and youll have that thing blown up in no time with what your using right now dude!!!!
